Synopsis:	Critical: firefox security update
Issue date:	2010-03-30
CVE Names:	CVE-2010-0174 CVE-2010-0175 CVE-2010-0176
                    CVE-2010-0177 CVE-2010-0178 CVE-2010-0179

Several use-after-free flaws were found in Firefox. Visiting a web page
containing malicious content could result in Firefox executing arbitrary
code with the privileges of the user running Firefox. (CVE-2010-0175,
CVE-2010-0176, CVE-2010-0177)

A flaw was found in Firefox that could allow an applet to generate a
drag and drop action from a mouse click. Such an action could be used to
execute arbitrary JavaScript with the privileges of the user running
Firefox. (CVE-2010-0178)

A privilege escalation flaw was found in Firefox when the Firebug add-on
is in use. The XMLHttpRequestSpy module in the Firebug add-on exposes a
Chrome privilege escalation flaw that could be used to execute arbitrary
JavaScript with the privileges of the user running Firefox. (CVE-2010-0179)

Several flaws were found in the processing of malformed web content. A
web page containing malicious content could cause Firefox to crash or,
potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user
running Firefox. (CVE-2010-0174)

After installing the update, Firefox must be restarted for the changes
to take effect.
